Meanwhile, Travis Head, recovering from a broken left hand, is not in the playing XI, while all-rounder Marcus Stoinis misses out with heartburn and is replaced by Cameron Green. The Netherlands, on the other hand, did not adjust its mix.

After starting the tournament with back-to-back losses, five-time world champions Australia have finally found a rhythm for the ongoing World Cup. They have narrowly won their previous two matches and hope to continue the momentum against the Netherlands.

The Netherlands, on the other hand, will be looking for another upset as they have already won in the form of South Africa earlier in the tournament. But apart from that, the Netherlands have not fared well and enter the competition with a five-wicket loss against Sri Lanka.

If you compare the two sides, Australia are in fourth place and a win will help them stay in that position. The Netherlands, on the other hand, are in seventh place and a win will see them level with Australia, Pakistan and Afghanistan, who have four points each. The two sides have met twice before, with Australia winning both times.
